My friend, Angie Meister, sent me a beautiful Christmas card with her family's picture. I called her right away to ask if she would like to be on this month's cover. I've known Angie for almost 10 years and love her mission to give to others through her company, Project Outreach. You can learn more about her awesome mission at www.projectoutreachnaples.com

Angie's friend, Jamie Hardesty, took this lovely family photo, she is a professional photographer and family friend. Her company, Photographic Images by Jim, www.photographicimagesbyjim.com, specializes in wedding photography and she combines her skills with her husband, Jim's. Their photography style with unique texture overlays creates fine art that makes them stand out among their colleagues.

Celebrating Christmas this year was so much fun with all my local relatives and family. My kids were so excited on Christmas morning and the anticipation on their faces was something I'll treasure forever. Now it's on to celebrating the New Year! I'll be making many New Year's resolutions---getting in shape, organizing, cleaning, are on my list. What do you have on your list? Post a comment as we'd love suggestions for New Year resolution! Happy New Year!
